We are African
Africa is projected to be the next frontier of global economic expansion due to the untapped
natural resources, growing services industry and the transformative power of technology.
Africa’s urban population is expected to increase from 40% of the total population in 2010 to 84% of the total population in 2060.
Sub-Saharan Africa will have more than 400 million new smartphones in which case by 2020, Africa will soon reach 1 billion mobile phone users.
Over 50% of Africa will have access to a camera and internet by then.
Amidst this disruptive growth lies the demand for maintaining and building a better
communication relationship with the average person.
The future of African communication is in the hands of its people.
Investors will continue to demand for a place where they can turn for insight into the
diverse countries in order to formulate winning strategies.
The African story, mostly written by western media, is shallow, lacking a sense of history, depth, perspective and is largely negative.
They still fail to capture the true voice of the African people.
At Dictum, we believe that if Africa is to have the influence and prosperity it envisions in this era, we must manage our Brands,
Narratives and communication to truly represent who we are.
At Dictum we are excited to be a part of this journey.
